I wrote a
poem about my crush, who is also my friend. My friends think it’s great, but I
want to know how guys react to poetry. It’s not mushy-gushy, but I don’t want
him to be freaked.

Bill:How do guys love poetry?
Let me count the ways. Getting a poem is like hugging your mom. You can
appreciate it—just not in front of your friends.

Dave:Resisting the temptation to
answer in haiku, I’ll suggest tucking away the poem
unless things progress a bit further. This guy is your friend, and you don’t
want to freak him out with verse. Give it some time.

Make it known that I am very available and dying to go, and hope you crush picks up on the cluesWalk up to my crush and ask him to be my date. I’m not just gonna sit around and wait for Prince CharmingMy BFF and I have vowed to be each other's dates to spare us the embarrassment of not getting askedYou won't see me attending any dances with these two left feet!
